Tangled Temptations

Chapter 309

Chapter 298

Early morning, Harvey sat in his office, poring over documents.

Denise slipped through the door, her voice a hushed whisper. "Attorney Horigan, Ms. Ruby's agent, has been here several times. He wishes to speak with you."

Harvey took a sip of his coffee. "Which Ms. Ruby?"

Denise faltered, then steeled herself to remind him. "The famous actress Ruby."

Ah, her...

Harvey almost forgot. Ms. Ruby had posted something on Twitter, and he had deliberately silenced her. Now, no one probably dared to cast her in their films. Harvey's tone was icy. "Not interested. Don't bring me such news again."

Denise nodded and left to relay the message.

Ruby's agent was disappointed. He tried various ways, but Harvey refused to meet, clearly upset. The famous actress was suppressed, and her career was in a slump.

At Everest Technologies, the top-floor conference room.

A product development meeting was underway.

Out of nowhere, an eager suggestion came up. "Ms. Laurent, I suggest we get Ruby to endorse our newly developed body wash."

The room fell silent at the remark. Natalia sat next to Eloise, hardly daring to breathe.

Unexpectedly, Eloise didn't get angry. Instead, she asked calmly, "How much does she usually charge?"

"20 million."

Eloise stood. "Tell her to bring her quote and come to Everest Technologies."
